Put your foot on the brake and hold
The pedal felt different, almost as if it didn't quite have ABS. It's not conclusive as there were other variables at play. I did my first run in +R mode and it was way too bumpy for this particular venue (the first time I've encountered that, but this was a different venue than the other 3 places I've competed in this car so far), so that may have attributed to that feeling (+R hasn't been too bumpy in the 11 events before this). By no means did it feel like something was wrong, dangerous or that it didn't have ABS; I would have locked up a couple times. I'm going to try it again at my next event this coming weekend. It's only a week from this past Saturday's event and at a different location, so an A-B comparison should still be fresh in my mind.
Interesting. There could be a difference, but it would take some methodical testing to find out. I do think the "Pedal Dance" puts the car into some sort of service mode, where it goes a bit further in disabling the "nannies". I have to experiment more myself.
Yes, if you're used to that. But if you've driven older cars or race-prepped cars on track it will be more natural and thus faster. I will take my car one day to the track, just not yet. I've raced in FF1600 and Mazda Miata spec, so got that out of my system for the most part when I was younger. I've also taken my street cars to the track occasionally, but without mods, as I don't want to compromise their streetability. Even with mods, they typically can't take being pushed hard for many laps, so it's just a curiosity thing.
